Jose Mourinho has indicated he will not hand debuts to any Manchester United youngsters in their final Premier League game of the season against Watford.

United's drab draw with West Ham on Thursday night secured a runners-up finish in the league and as reported in the Manchester Evening News, Mourinho will make at least seven changes for the visit of Watford on Sunday.

United face Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday week and ahead of last year's Europa League final Mourinho handed full debuts to Joel Pereira, Demetri Mitchell and Josh Harrop in the last league fixture against Crystal Palace, while Angel Gomes emerged for his career bow.

Tahith Chong succeeded Gomes as the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year last week and Ethan Hamilton was promoted to the first-team squad for the FA Cup tie at Huddersfield in February. However, Mourinho is set to field a senior side at Old Trafford this weekend.

"No," Mourinho replied when asked if he would select any rookies. "I play some players that didn't play today, I play Romero, I play Daley Blind, I play Eric Bailly, I play Rashford, I play Martial, I play Mata.

"I have every player apart from Fellaini and Lukaku available and I don't go to the young players."

Michael Carrick will skipper United in what is certain to be his 464th and final appearance for the club against the Hornets. Mourinho suggested the 36-year-old would not complete the full 90 minutes but promised Carrick would earn a fitting farewell.

"Carrick was decided," Mourinho added. "So if today we lose a match and we need the point against Watford I would play Carrick the same.

"He's going to start the match as captain, he is not going to end the match because I want him to leave that pitch alone and I want him to feel what the Manchester United supporters feel in relation to him.

"I'm not so sad as I normally am when my players end their career because he is going to be with us, he is going to be even closer to me than he was as a player. So is just an emotional moment because it's the end of the career of a fantastic player.

"So he starts the match but I will make the change so he can leave the pitch alone."
